The Busker Single Pot Irish Whiskey 750

Description: Single pot still whiskey is known for its inclusion of malted and unmalted barley in the mash; otherwise it is similar to single malt and this expression is also aged in both bourbon and sherry casks. Theres no word on whether The Busker uses additional grains, which are common to the style. This was immediately my favorite of the group, with a more rounded, boldly malty nose that showcases the sherry much more clearly than in the Single Malt. Aromas of clean malt meld well with the sharper sherry note, evoking citrus peel and classic oily/nutty notes that are reminiscent at times of furniture polish. The palate is more aggressively malty, with notes of cut hay, leather, and more smoldering nuttiness with a lingering element of smoke evident. The finish sees more of the youthful characteristics of this line, with some hemp rope notes giving way to more sherry-driven citrus peel and a lengthy, oily nut character. All told its a fairly youthful whiskey, but its a solid example of the single pot still style thats worth a look at this price. 88.6 proof
